numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your
screen.
NOTE:
Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the
strength of their security, starting with None, which provide no

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a
password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING!
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which
erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a lock screen PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1.Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2.Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not
23
charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back Key.
WARNING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3.Touch Encrypt phone.
4.Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5.Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password.
Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even
with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an
accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations
restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in
order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Product Handling
General Statement on Handling and Use
You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any
consequences of its use.
You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a

measures designed to protect users and their environment.
95

keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
• Keep the screen and camera lens clean. Unclean screen or
camera lens may slow down the phone's reaction to your

them to get inside.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames
or lit tobacco products.
• Do not expose your phone accessories to liquid, moisture or

ovens, or hot cooking utensils. Otherwise, your phone may be
damaged.
96

They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally
damage the phone.
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may
cause an injury or may become detached and create a choking
hazard.
Demagnetization
To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic
devices or magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the SIM card’s metal connectors.
Antenna
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
97
Normal Use Position
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your
ear, with the bottom toward your mouth.

deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force and
serious injury could result.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small
percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed
to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or
watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or
have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a
physician. To reduce the risk of blackouts or seizures, you can
use your phone in a well lit room and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive Strain Injuries

To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting
or playing games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
98
• Use the special features which are designed to minimize the
times of pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and
Predictive Text.
• Take frequent breaks to stretch and relax.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should not rely solely on any wireless phone for
emergency communications.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth headsets or other audio devices.
Phone Heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during
normal use.
Electrical Safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
99
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or
key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals.
Never puncture the surface of the battery with sharp objects.
Connection to a Car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to
the vehicle electrical system.
Faulty and Damaged Products

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or its
accessories.
If your phone (or its accessories) has been punctured, or
subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to
be checked at an authorized service center.
Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
100
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source, increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
101
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your phone
when boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit
with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or
“electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
